Took a picture of Kansas on the road-scenic. Just kidding but it does make a good comparison to the Plains are of Texas just longer and greener.

We got an early start today in record tear down time. Awoke at 8:05 and were on the road at 8:40am. We made it to Merriam, KS at 2:50 for our second longest leg of the trip. Plan is to reconnoiter with my father and Joanie for dinner this evening. I knew that all the smack talk to my San Angelo crew of highs in the 60 and 70s would come back to haunt me. 102 here today. Little taste of home.
